Crews have gained significant ground on two wildfires that threatened communities near the Wyoming-Montana border.
High winds and soaring temperatures are providing a nightmare scenario for firefighters across the West, as 14 states are faced with blazes destroying vast swathes of territory.
The U.S. Forest Service said Friday it's operating in crisis mode, fully deploying firefighters and maxing out its support system as wildfires continue to break out across the U.S. West.
Jennifer Costich with Northern Rockies Incident Management said “there is the potential for wind gusts today, so there are still concerns for Lame Deer, which is still under evacuation status."
Fire officials say Northern California will have dangerous fire weather on Friday, including possible lightning that could spark more blazes. In Montana, firefighters have scrambled to save hundreds of homes around the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation.
